Angkor Centre for Conservation of Biodiversity (ACCB)

Nestled near the ancient site of Kbal Spean within Phnom Kulen National Park, the Angkor Centre for Conservation of Biodiversity (ACCB) stands as a beacon for wildlife protection in Cambodia. As the country's first nature conservation and wildlife rescue center, the ACCB is committed to rescuing, rehabilitating, and releasing threatened native species back into their natural habitats. The center also engages in conservation breeding programs for selected endangered species. Visitors to the ACCB can witness firsthand the important work being done to protect Cambodia's rich biodiversity. Guided tours, available in English, offer insights into the challenges faced by wildlife in the region and the ongoing efforts to address them. The center is home to over 550 animals representing more than 45 species, including primates, birds, reptiles, and mammals. Among the species visitors may encounter are pileated gibbons, Indochinese silvered langurs, various turtle and tortoise species, green peafowl, and several bird of prey species. The ACCB also houses a significant collection of threatened storks. The ACCB also plays a vital role in environmental education, conducting local programs for communities surrounding Phnom Kulen National Park. These programs aim to raise awareness about biodiversity, responsible tourism, and the importance of conservation.
